Post by: Will on May 25, 2003, 05:01:09 pm: It isn't my primary instrument, but I'm decent.

It's all about the five rotory valve C tubas with modern orchestral parts. ;)

Yeah... they are kinda rare and expensive. I guess I'm gloating because the school just bought one and I get to use it. :D

It is also in C, unlike most tubas that are in Bb, but most tuba players don't know that. The fingerings they are taught are already transposed.

Post by: Will on May 25, 2003, 05:11:33 pm: Color me a Yamaha man. I mean, especially in trumpets. The Xeno series is awesome.

Also, their s80 and s90 keyboards are awesome. Their uprights sound like grands. Their grands, however, sound like crap. Kinda funny how their uprights sound better than their grands.

Post by: JazzyManda on May 25, 2003, 05:11:37 pm: btw, why 5? i know 4 is used to replace the 1/3 combonation, but what is the 5th valve used for?
Title: any trumpet players on here?
Post by: JazzyManda on May 25, 2003, 05:13:28 pm: you've got to be kidding me! Yamaha!!
that brand is the worst!
their valves suck so bad
bach stradivarious is the best for trumpets. it's the elite of the elite
come on, no way
Title: any trumpet players on here?
Post by: Will on May 25, 2003, 05:16:05 pm: The fifth is a 23 replacement. Haven't really used it yet. Probably slightly sharper, because 23 is generally flat in the lower registers. The partials get so small as you go higher, so alternate fingerings up there are pointless.

Little known fact: Before there were valved brass instruments, trumpet parts were played with trumpets in the range of tubas. They played them so high, however, that the partials were close enough to be able to play scales. They were also incredibly difficult to play.

That is if you get cheap Yamaha schtuff. That is crap. The higher end stuff is pretty shweet.

Yeah, Bach makes some good trumpets. But, I haven't had much experience with them, so I can't really talk about them all that much.

My trumpet, however, is a 50 year old King. Still plays great after all those years, but I have had some work done on it.

Post by: JazzyManda on May 25, 2003, 05:19:10 pm: well, i think there should be another valve on trumpet for the 1 combo.
that note is always really flat.
i konw they make 4 valved trumpets, but i've only seen them on picolo trumpets
those things are awesome
i have one that i use in symphonic band.
it kind of defetes the purpose of builing your chops, but i don't use that in jazz band so it all good
Title: any trumpet players on here?
Post by: JazzyManda on May 25, 2003, 05:22:35 pm: yeah, strad. is the ultimate best. their valves last forever, literally

king sux i think. at least there student models do. so does yamaha's student models. bach's students are awesome too
i have a tr 300 bach and a 37 stradivarious.
i seriously suggest trying strad. you'll be impressed with the tone quallity and the speed of the valves. it's awesome

I have seen them on Eb and F trumpets as well as piccolos. I have been meaning to get a piccolo, but it would be kinda pointless because I don't play trumpet that much.

I also want to get a rotory valve trumpet. Think of the speed of those suckas. I'm spoiled with rotories on my tuba and my french horn.

Post by: tricia on May 25, 2003, 07:22:01 pm: I'm a proud trombone player since the age of 12. My best friend plays trumpet. Not my favorite instrument. I'm more a fan of the french horn.

Post by: Jamielee on May 26, 2003, 04:33:25 pm: I played the baritone for 6 years. Marched for 4. I loved it!
I agree that the french horn is pretty cool! That would be my fave brass instrument.

viola is realllly coool

but i would love to learn cello.. also

violin is soo-soo. i play a little violin.
doesnt really do anything for me
Title: any trumpet players on here?
Post by: JazzyManda on May 26, 2003, 05:42:50 pm: yeah, i have alot of respect for the bass. since it's played in my jazz band, it's sort of the heart of the rythm section and keeps the band in time.
other wise, strings are too twangy and are always out of tune,
i'm a full time band geek :P
Title: any trumpet players on here?
Post by: badsrx7 on May 26, 2003, 05:49:43 pm: i prefer strings
